career stats: 393 HR 1371 RBI .284 BA

turned 35 in April and has 2558 Hits - A real shot a 3000 hits

NO PED's

after a 4 for 4 day on a crap team, is hitting .321 this season (still going strong. could be traded)

Nobody ever mentions him. If he hits 3000 hits, I say yes. Rafael Palmiero had 3000 but he lied to a grand jury.


Yes or No

Doubtful

[NYSportsGuy210]

Two more solid seasons after this year and he will be on that Mike Mussina like bubble.

Vlad Guerrero is the better argument for HOF induction right now.

only top 5 in MVP voting twice

I feel like if you aren't really ever a top top player at any point in your career let alone for a good extended period of 6-10 years you should have no shot, even if you accumulate alot.

See Dale Murphy. That guy was a two time MVP and considered a super star for a good portion of his career and he STILL didn't get in.

that being said, 3,000 hits without PED will get him in eventually

No chance. Move on and stop trying to convince yourself. Never.

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre is closing in on the 3,000-hit mark for his career, but that hasn’t meant he is in cruise control.

Taking his warm-up hacks aimlessly away from the on-deck circle, Beltre was reminded to get back to where he the on-deck circle designates hitters stand

funny

[dlowilly]

Can't let that swing into the hall

[VeggieDog]

He frickin' moved the on-deck circle. LOL. I love it.

[Fidel_CashFlow]

If Beltre isnt a future Hall Of Famer then who is ?

Clean as a whistle

He will retire with 500 or more home runs

stellar consistent defense at the hot corner

his OBP keeps rising and rising each year

career .290 hitter ?

Entertaining as fukk

If he doesnt get in , who does ?

[Regul8er]

And the guy has played hobbled for the last 5 or so years, and still puts up numbers year in and year out.
He's a 1st ballot HOF'er.....no question!
